Education Secretary: Too many adults lack sufficient skills for job advancement because of the cost of higher education. Businesses should partner with educators to create curricula that are tailored to the needs of these people, thus increasing the likelihood that the cost of enrollment will be a safe investment.
Union Leader: What good is altering the curricula if students simply do not have the funds to enroll or the time to attend? What we need are more generous educational grants targeted to working adults, and more flexible work hours for working students.
Both the education secretary and the union leader make the point that
A. the cost of higher education for many adults is prohibitively high
B. many adult students do not have the time to attend courses in higher education
C. the cost of higher education is unfairly high
D. many adult students will not attend classes in higher education unless they are convinced that doing so will be a good investment.
E. the current curricula in most higher education institutions is not properly focused on teaching the skills that are necessary for job advancement.

Now, let's examine each option:
A. the cost of higher education for many adults is prohibitively highThis is the same statement both Education secretary and union leaders agree upon.
B. many adult students do not have the time to attend courses in higher education.
The union leader specifically mentions this, but the education secretary does not. Although it is a true statement, it is not a shared point.
C. the cost of higher education is unfairly high
Unfairness of higher education cost is not mentioned.
D. many adult students will not attend classes in higher education unless they are convinced that doing so will be a good investment.
The education secretary implies this, but the union leader does not discuss the student's perception of the investment.
E. the current curricula in most higher education institutions is not properly focused on teaching the skills that are necessary for job advancement.
Not mentioned by both. Hence out of scope.
Hence,
Option A
